  17. I just got approved from Tri-Care and if you meet the qualifications and do the pre testing it goes very fast. I was approved in two days and I have read a lot of other posts saying the same thing ... Total time from first visit to my PC Dr to surgeon and now the surgery is 4 months. It goes fast . Waiting for the approval was the hardest .. Good luck to you and keep us posted .. I go next week and can't wait ..
